Chapter 341 — Tang Zhi's Grievance
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Since the big boss had already torn off his mask, he grew even more brazen. He told Xiaodan that she could either become his mistress—then she wouldn't have to repay the money, and she would even get a raise—and as for Xiaowei, he could just quietly keep working as a security guard, no need to resign, salary as usual.
If she refused, then within three days they were to return every cent of the sponsorship money from all those years!
Xiaowei and Xiaodan were stunned. Three days—where in the world were they going to get that kind of money? Over the years, the sponsorship this big boss had given their two families totaled at least a hundred and fifty thousand. How could they ever repay such a huge sum?
At his wit's end, Xiaowei contacted an organ-selling ring, planning to sell a kidney to pay off the debt. He did not want Xiaodan to suffer humiliation either—letting his girlfriend become another man's mistress was something he could not tolerate no matter what.
Tang Zhi's family knew about the sponsorship. Back then they had thought Xiaowei and the others were lucky to be helped by a wealthy boss. Now it looked like a misfortune.
"Auntie, please think of something—Xiaowei can't sell his kidney! I hear that once you sell a kidney, your health goes completely downhill, and you can't do anything anymore afterward..." Xiaodan was on the verge of tears, looking pitifully at Mother Tang. She had tried to talk him out of it, but Xiaowei simply would not listen.
"Xiaowei, don't you dare do anything foolish. Here—over the years, Auntie has saved up more than twenty thousand yuan. Take it and use it for now, and I'll think of something else for you!" As she spoke, Mother Tang started to go look for her passbook...
"Auntie, no. Twenty thousand yuan won't do anything at all, and that's the money you saved up for Uncle's surgery. How could I touch that?" Xiaowei hurried to stop her. "Auntie, you know how Xiaodan and I feel about each other. I could never push her into the fire!"
Still, what Xiaowei said was the truth. He could not push Xiaodan into the fire, and he needed a hundred and fifty thousand—something no one else could help with. If Mother Tang had a hundred and fifty thousand, she would have long since gotten her husband's surgery done instead of putting it off until now.
"Yun'er, could you give Wei Zhao a call? Ask him to lend us some money?" Tang's mother hesitated a moment, then looked at her daughter. Little Wei was the only male in her maiden family, the one they were counting on to carry on the line. If he sold a kidney, whether he could even take care of himself afterward would be a question...
"What?" Tang Zhi was stunned. She had not expected her mother to ask her to borrow money from Wei Zhao. This was not three or five thousand, but a hundred and fifty thousand—how could she bring herself to ask? And even if she did borrow it, what would they pay it back with? A sum that large was probably beyond repaying at all.
"Auntie, who's Wei Zhao?" Xiaodan had never heard the name. She blinked, wondering who on earth could hand over a hundred and fifty thousand at the drop of a hat.
"He's your cousin Tang Zhi's boyfriend. His family's quite well off," Tang's mother explained.
"Mom! Wei Zhao is not my boyfriend. There's nothing between us!" Tang Zhi's face went red. She gave her mother a reproachful look. How could she say such a thing so carelessly?
"He gave you a phone, didn't he? How is he not your boyfriend?" Tang's mother grew anxious and looked at her daughter. "Yun'er, you're his elder sister—you won't just wash your hands of your brother, will you? Are you going to stand by and watch him sell a kidney?"
